The sentence was handed down by Magistrate Judy Latchman this morning in the Georgetown Magistrates’ court.
Stanley Pile, of Norton Street, pleaded guilty to ownership of the 75lbs of marijuana busted last Sunday by CANU ranks.
CANU prosecutor, Konyo Sandiford told the court that on the day in question, ranks went to Pile’s home where a search was conducted in the upper flat of a makeshift room.
In that room three carton boxes and two barrels packed with wrapped packages of compressed marijuana was found.
After accepting ownership, the father of seven told CANU investigators that the illicit substance was given to him by a man who resides over the river.
The customs anti-narcortics unit is currently in search of the man.
In addition to the 4 year sentence, Pile was fined 30,000 dollars.
